The very first coat you put on the wall has a ten-dance to smooch around especially if you glob it on thinking it will cover in one coat. By applying a thin layer it does dry quickly but provides a newer less slick surface for the second coat to adhere to better. At least that has been my experience.

The tack coat dries quite quickly? I thought that tack coats got their name from the fact that they're still tacky when you paint over them.
